Objective:To explore and evaluate the application of flipped classroom in the integrated curriculum of pathology and pathophysiology overview.Methods:This study included in 172 students from the 8-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2016 (observation group), and 142 students of Batch 2014 (control group). The observation group adopted traditional classroom teaching combined with flipped classroom teaching, and the control group used only traditional classroom teaching. In the observation group, the teaching contents were redesigned in the form of flipped classroom. The relevant knowledge points were provided before class. Group discussions and in-class presentations were used in the teaching. And the cultivation of students' learning autonomy, interaction and innovation were emphasized. The teaching evaluation was obtained from the questionnaire survey and final exam performance of the two groups of students. SPSS 21.0 was used for t test. Results:Students in the observation group had high satisfaction with flipped classroom which was helpful to improve students' independent learning ability, oral expression ability and innovative thinking ability. However, there was no significant difference in the final exam scores between the two groups ( P=0.306). Conclusion:Flipped classroom teaching can improve students' interest in learning and stimulate their independent learning and innovation. However, the teaching effect evaluated only by the final performance can't reflect the superiority of flipped classroom, which should be assessed by more evaluation indexes.

Objective: To observe the impact of vareniline tartrate on vascular endothelial function and inlfammatory factor releasing in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with nicotine dependence after smoking withdrawal treatment.
Methods: We recruited the in-hospital ACS patients who were smoking ≥10 cigarettes/day for more than 10 years with at least moderate nicotine dependence, and randomly divided them into 2 groups: Varenicline group, the patients received oral medication for 2 weeks and Self withdrawal group, the patients without medication assistance.n=52 in each group. All patients received (10-30) min daily mission and consulting for quit smoking for 2 weeks. The basic information was recorded and blood levels of NO, IL-6 and ET-1 were compared before and after withdrawal treatment.
Results: Compared with they were before, after 2 weeks withdrawal treatment, in Varenicline group, blood levels of ET-1 decreased as (33.950 ± 1.439) ng/L vs (170.198 ± 12.602) ng/L and IL-6 decreased as (0.103 ± 0.020) ng/L vs (0.307 ± 0.051) ng/L; in Self withdrawal group, ET-1 decreased as (60.795 ±7 .036) ng/L vs (170.511 ± 12.374) ng/L, all P<0.05; while NO levels were similar,P>0.05. After treatment, ET-1 level in Varenicline group (33.950 ± 1.439) ng/L was lower than Self withdrawal group (60.795 ± 7.036) ng/L and IL-6 level in Varenicline group (0.103 ± 0.020) ng/L was also lower than Self withdrawal group (0.258 ± 0.042) ng/L, allP<0.05; while NO levels were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05.
Conclusion: Compared with self withdrawal, varenicline tartrate may effectively inhibit inlfammatory factor releasing in ACS patients with nicotine dependence, and therefore improve the vascular endothelial function.

Objective To investigate the effect of expression of microRNA-27a(miR-27a) and microRNA-451(miR-451) in A2780/T cells and its relativity to multidrug resistance (MDR)1 mRNA inhibition by procyanidin. Methods Stem-loop PCR method was performed to evaluate the expression of miR-27a and miR-451 in use of procyanidin (0-40μmol/L) in 0-48 h in A2780/T cells. Additionally, over-expressing or interfecting microRNAs by using mimics or inhibitor of miR-27a and miR-451, the expression of MDR1 mRNA was assessed by RT-PCR in cells exposing to procyanidin. Results The expression of miR-27a and miR-451 was significant inhibited by procyanidin in both time- and concentration-dependency. Over-expressed MDR1 mRNA associated with miR-27a or miR-451 mimics was blocked by procyanidin, whereas there was no effect on down-expressed MDR1 mRNA associated with miR-27a or miR-451 inhibitor by procyanidin. Conclusion Procyanidin inhibits MDR1 mRNA expression by inhibiting miR-27a and miR-451 expression in A2780/T cells.
